耶利米书 52
1 西底家登基的时候年二十一岁，在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母亲名叫哈慕她，是立拿人耶利米的女儿。
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 西底家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，是照约雅敬一切所行的。
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 因此耶和华的怒气在耶路撒冷和犹大发作，以致将人民从自己的面前赶出。
For through the anger of the LORD it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 西底家背叛巴比伦王。他作王第九年十月初十日，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军来攻击耶路撒冷，对城安营，四围筑垒攻城。
It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and camped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
5 于是城被围困直到西底家王十一年。
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 四月初九日，城里有大饥荒，甚至百姓都没有粮食。
In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
7 城被攻破，一切兵丁就在夜间从靠近王园两城中间的门，出城逃跑；迦勒底人正在四围攻城。他们就往亚拉巴逃去。
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city all around; ) and they went toward the Arabah.
8 迦勒底的军队追赶西底家王，在耶利哥的平原追上他。他的全军都离开他四散了。
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9 迦勒底人就拿住王，带他到在哈马地利比拉的巴比伦王那里；巴比伦王便审判他。
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
10 巴比伦王在西底家眼前杀了他的众子，又在利比拉杀了犹大的一切首领，
The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the officials of Judah in Riblah.
11 并且剜了西底家的眼睛，用铜链锁着他，带到巴比伦去，将他囚在监里，直到他死的日子。
He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.
12 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初十日，在巴比伦王面前侍立的护卫长尼布撒拉旦进入耶路撒冷，
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:
13 用火焚烧耶和华的殿和王宫，又焚烧耶路撒冷的房屋，就是各大户家的房屋。
and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.
14 跟从护卫长迦勒底的全军就拆毁耶路撒冷四围的城墙。
All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
15 那时护卫长尼布撒拉旦将民中最穷的和城里所剩下的百姓，并已经投降巴比伦王的人，以及大众所剩下的人，都掳去了。
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
16 但护卫长尼布撒拉旦留下些民中最穷的，使他们修理葡萄园，耕种田地。
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
17 耶和华殿的铜柱并殿内的盆座和铜海，迦勒底人都打碎了，将那铜运到巴比伦去了，
The Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD in pieces, and carried all their bronze to Babylon.
18 又带去锅、铲子、蜡剪、盘子、调羹，并所用的一切铜器、
They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
19 杯、火鼎、碗、盆、灯台、调羹、爵，无论金的银的，护卫长也都带去了。
The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
20 所罗门为耶和华殿所造的两根铜柱、一个铜海，并座下的十二只铜牛，这一切的铜多得无法可称。
They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea, and the stands which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
21 这一根柱子高十八肘，厚四指，是空的，围十二肘。
As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eight feet seven inches; and a line of twenty feet eight inches encircled it; and its thickness was almost three inches. It was hollow.
22 柱上有铜顶，高五肘；铜顶的周围有网子和石榴，都是铜的。那一根柱子照此一样，也有石榴。
A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was eight feet seven inches, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.
23 柱子四面有九十六个石榴，在网子周围，共有一百石榴。
There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
24 护卫长拿住大祭司西莱雅、副祭司西番亚，和三个把门的，
The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
25 又从城中拿住一个管理兵丁的官，并在城里所遇常见王面的七个人和检点国民军长的书记，以及城里所遇见的国民六十个人。
and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
26 护卫长尼布撒拉旦将这些人带到利比拉的巴比伦王那里。
Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27 巴比伦王就把他们击杀在哈马地的利比拉。这样，犹大人被掳去离开本地。
The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
28 尼布甲尼撒所掳的民数记在下面：在他第七年掳去犹大人三千零二十三名；
This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;
29 尼布甲尼撒十八年从耶路撒冷掳去八百三十二人；
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
30 尼布甲尼撒二十三年，护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳去犹大人七百四十五名；共有四千六百人。
in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31 犹大王约雅斤被掳后三十七年，巴比伦王以未·米罗达元年十二月二十五日，使犹大王约雅斤抬头，提他出监，
It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Awil-Marduk king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;
32 又对他说恩言，使他的位高过与他一同在巴比伦众王的位，
and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
33 给他脱了囚服。他终身在巴比伦王面前吃饭。
and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:
34 巴比伦王赐他所需用的食物，日日赐他一分，终身是这样，直到他死的日子。
and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
